Really top quality selection of meats. This was the most authentic soul food experience we’ve had and with top class service as well.

I was recommended to visit here by a friend and ended up taking the plunge on Saturday 17th. It was really busy which shows how well the place is doing and meant for a lively atmosphere - the service was a bit slow as a result, but it didn’t detract from the quality of the food and the great service when it came! We got a mixed smoked meat plater brisket which was amazing, and also got the Nashville chicken tenders which were really spicy. Will be sure to come back!

Overhyped, over-priced and below average food. Brisket was dry and had No flavour, Nashville tenders were passable, Mac & cheese and Fries were just regular.The best thing about the place is Rough brothers Ale and the Service. Drove all the way from Antrim (110 miles to and fro) wasted time and food money (ordered food and drink worth £70)

Drove up from Belfast to grab some food only to be told they are not doing take away or do they have most items on the menu. No mention of this on their social media. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I won't be back.

Went at 7pm on a Saturday night. Place was "fully booked" and not taking walk-ins. Good sign of a thriving restaurant. Waited for 15 minutes to get seated, despite being at the front of the queue. Seated at the table and the waiter approaches, with at least the graciousness to be shame-faced. Proceeds to inform us that about 40% of the main courses are sold out because 'it's been busy'. (Forget the fact that they were 100% booking only, so they knew how many people would be coming) Ok, not ideal, but we soldiered on, and ordered from the limited options. Came time to order drinks. "No we aren't doing cocktails". "No we can't sell wine by the bottle due to stock levels" Food that came was mediocre at best. Chicken tenders were admittedly nice, and pulled pork (the only smoked meat left) was passable, but not great. But the 'Maple Fries' were just frozen chips, with a syrup on them (NOT maple syrup). The Mac and cheese was lukewarm penne, with a stodgy cheese sauce. They produced a random bowl of broth, that looked like dirty dishwater. We didn't ask for it, or have any food that would dip into it. And after dinner they gave us 4 shots of a vile coffee liqueur. Evidently they had the foresight to know we were less than impressed. Seems as though staff did their best with what they had to work with, so kudos to them. Was desperate to like this place, have seen TikTok reviews raving about it. Clearly happy to pay for good publicity, but incapable of running a functioning restaurant.

Booked a table, received a booking confirmation and booking reminder. Arrived at the restaurant only to be told they weren’t open. No advertisement of this anywhere.

Waited forever for our food even though it wasn’t busy, small portion sizes, overpriced. Food was fine though.

Absolutely loved this little gem of a restaurant. Was really taken aback at how good the food tasted. Lots of different flavours that I hadn't tried before. The food was plentiful and we left with full bellies. Very happy and will.be back.

Absolutely abysmal. Went here for a double date and as a group we spent almost £200 on food, only for the majority to be left on the plate. Chips were the only thing passable. Horrid. Save your money

Went in for a late Valentine’s dinner with my partner and I have to say the service and the food was excellent! I highly recommend everything and never thought I’d say it but the fried pickles were outstanding. Would highly recommend!

Just amazing! We stumbled across this place whilst trying to find something to eat in Derry on Halloween night. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming, even though you could tell they were rushed off their feet. The friendly lady making cocktails (who I’m assuming was the manager) was the perfect example of how to host. She made sure we were looked after whilst we waited for a table. When we got a table we were blown away by the food. We’ve eaten in a few BBQ joints around the world but this place was something else. We had the Pork Belly which came with sides and the most amazing gravy, which was more like a consommé, but the best consommé you’ve ever tried. Luckily the meal came with a bap (bread roll) so you can soak it alllll up. The Pork Belly was perfectly smoked and cooked to perfection and the portion size was very good. My other half had the Soul Chicken, once again delicious and the garlic mash it came with was a delight and the side of Fried Pickles we ordered were spot on. Everything was washed down with on the nose cocktails, perfectly mixed and we were given a taste of a couple of local beer made by Rough Brothers. The Red Ale was a real malty, darker beer and went superbly with the food. Thanks for a great eating experience, we’ll definitely be back.

Love this place! Went in early evening last month ( meant to post these pictures/ review earlier) Had seen lots of positive reviews online and friends / clients had recommended it! We had a lovely visit, the team was super friendly, explained everything about the menu and helped us order … Good food nice and tasty with a fab cocktail menu! Planning to return to try out lots of the other stuff on the menu as there was too much to choose from on our first visit! Highly recommended!

This was my first time in Coupe- I attended with 3 hungry friends to celebrate passing our exams and after my dinner I feel we should celebrate our fantastic dining experience. The restaurant was quiet with only one other table eating during our meal- I suppose this may be expected on a rainy Tuesday night, but the restaurant didn’t lack atmosphere with the friendly waitress made polite conversation and good background music filled the room. The service was very quick with delicious fruity cocktails being freshly shaken in minutes and served with extra sparkle and garnishing. The starter (butter honey chicken wings- yum) and main quickly followed and it was big and delicious. We chose the brisket, pulled pork and ribs- admittedly it looked fairly unassuming served with 3 sides and a brioche each. We loaded a strange concoction of ingredients into the bap and, oh my goodness, it was divine. All of the different meats and sauces had so much smoke and flavour and the mac and cheese was heavenly- considering I normally wouldn’t be a fan. All the staff were so friendly and we finished off the meal with a further cocktail each- our total an average of £26.50 pp and which I would consider an absolute bargain for the quality, quantity and excellent service we received. Can’t wait to go back.

Fierce good. Better than ribs I had in Nashville recommended in Trip advisor. Husband loved pork belly. We found this place above the Grand Central bar Halloween 2021 and have been looking for it since. I'm from Derry but live in Belfast, my husband found it in Rathmullan so we were going to go but we're absolutely 💯 delighted to see it back in Derry.

Went here for lunch on Friday afternoon. Such a friendly atmosphere in this place with good music playing too. The waiting staff was really pleasant and friendly. The pork with watermelon is a surprisingly good choice! Good selection of local craft beers and IPA. I'll definitely be back to taste the rest of the menu.

So friendly! We had the dirty fried chicken which was crisp on the outside and very moist on the inside. The brisket was also very good with great smoke flavor. Onion rings were fresh and had a bit of a spice to them which was really good. The mac and cheese was a queso style that really sets it apart from the traditional style. So cheesy! Lastly, 2 great beers on tap plus more local beers available in bottles. You won’t find Guinness or Carlsberg here, instead they’ve sourced beers with a purpose for taste not profit and it really shows. Great experience here, we highly recommend! They get busy on Friday and Saturdays so reservations are recommend.

Great selection of sauces and good American style comfort food. The only thing I would say is that their blueberry BBQ sauce had too much cinnamon in it

Really good authentic food would highly recommend the dirty chicken with waffles and mac and cheese, very attentive waiters and waitresses. Always great to see such high quality street food on the rise in derry. Follow the smell of the smoker on shipquay street 👍👍

After a good walk around the walls of Derry we were ready for a good feed. We spotted Nandos but decided to have another scout around rather than settle for chain food. So delighted we did and found Coupe. The warning for vegans on arrival was enough to let us know a good feed was on the cards. All members of staff were knowledgeable on food and drinks on the menu advising us on wonderful craft beers to get the party started. The quality and volume of food left nothing to be desired. The ribs were fall off the bone and kept coming. The coating on the chicken and moistness within was like nothing we've had before. Proper crispy onion rings, French dip with a real depth of flavour, a toasted brioche and excellent fries. If you take a trip to Derry, make it your business to eat here at least once.
